Hello again, hope you’re all well and looking forward to the festive period which is just around the corner. Here at Soch Sails we have been beetling along and are not far off being up to date with all our orders which is great news.

It seems that the Post Office are striking again here in the UK over the 24th and 25th November so our only posting this week was yesterday (22nd). No point in piling stuff into an overcrowded system. Our next post will be on Monday.

I have decided that I’m only working four days a week through the winter months which will allow me a little more time for home stuff and family time. I’m confident that I can cope with the reduced hours, and having worked seven days a week all summer it seems sensible to strike some sort of work / life balance.

Coming up to the Christmas period I’m taking a little time off too beforehand to go over the Yorkshire and see family that I haven’t had time to see this year, the workshop will be closed from the 8th December until maybe the 15th. So, if you want Soch Sails Christmas goodies under your tree then best order sooner rather than later.

Cut off date for overseas posting is around the 10th December. If it isn’t out the door before I go away it won’t be with you before Christmas I’m afraid.

Not much to report on the sailing front, I did the UK RC Laser Nationals which was fun, fourth spot finish, should have done better but didn’t! Other than that I’ve not sailed at all since. It’s the MYA AGM on Saturday so I’ll have a day trip to that which will be fun I’m sure.

Nothing more to report really, orders come in, things get manufactured and things get shipped out. it seems to work well enough.
